Weighted Indices for Evaluating the Quality of Research with Multiple Authorship

Devising an index to measure the quality of research is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a set of indices to evaluate the quality of research produced by an author. Our indices utilize a policy that assigns the weights to multiple authors of a paper. We have considered two weight assignment policies: positionally weighted and equally weighted. We propose two classes of weighted indices: weighted h-indices and weighted citation h-cuts. Further, we compare our weighted h-indices with the original h-index for a selected set of authors. As opposed to h-index, our weighted h-indices take into account the weighted contributions of individual authors in multi-authored papers, and may serve as an improvement over h-index. The other class of weighted indices that we call weighted citation h-cuts take into account the number of citations that are in excess of those required to compute the index, and may serve as a supplement to h-index or its variants.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures, 4 table

Performance evaluation of multipath TCP : Mohammad Faisal. Advisor: Ash Mohammad Abbas M.Tech. Thesis Department of Computer Engineering, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. May 2014

En esta tesis, tratamos de responder a la siguiente pregunta de investigación: ¿Cómo realizar múltiples rutas-TCP, en comparación con el TCP tradicional? Para ello, se evaluó el desempeño de múltiples-TCP. Durante la evaluación del desempeño, que se centró en los siguientes parámetros: retardo, rendimiento, y la relación de la entrega de paquetes de extremo a extremo. Se evaluó el impacto de ancho de banda de enlace y número de buffers en la cola de los parámetros de rendimiento antes mencionados.Resumen de la tesis realizada por el autor.Facultad de Informátic

Bounds and Inequalities Relating h-Index, g-Index, e-Index and Generalized Impact Factor

Finding relationships among different indices such as h-index, g-index, e-index, and generalized impact factor is a challenging task. In this paper, we describe some bounds and inequalities relating h-index, g-index, e-index, and generalized impact factor. We derive the bounds and inequalities relating these indexing parameters from their basic definitions and without assuming any continuous model to be followed by any of them.Comment: 17 pages, 6 figures, 5 table

Disjoint multipath routing for mobile ad hoc networks

In this thesis, we emphasized the need to use multiple node-disjoint paths between a given source and destination. The use of node-disjoint paths not only allows different paths to share the traffic, but also provides fault-tolerance to some extent. However, design of a distributed protocol that relies on partial topology information to identify multiple node-disjoint paths between a given pair of nodes is a challenging task. In this thesis, our main focus is to discuss protocols to discover node-disjoint paths between a given pair of nodes. The contributions of the thesis are as follows.Facultad de Informátic
